Holidays of your Dreams in Rhodes........

Holidays of your Dreams in Rhodes.A reality that makes you come back again……
First of all I would like to congratulate holiday makers who have made the decision to visit Rhodes island for their vacations and most of all those tourists who finally choose Rhodes island for 14 nights at least.Whatever the option,one week or two and more, what is left on tourists mind is the experiences and the emotions about Rhodes when coming back to their own reality at homes where they have to follow a routine, which is not easy or a nice feeling to come in touch with,but this is LIFE.We follow a system and based on that we need to prioritize our habits and set plans.It is vital then to plan holidays somewhere when the situations and circumstances allow us to act on that way,so we can charge our batteries.
By being in Rhodes for holidays you need to be generous about your self and estimate that money spent for holiday pleasure is priceless.To come on that point,money enough on your wallet is important to enjoy your holidays in the island and Rhodes gives  many choices about how much you should spend approximately.So have more money for your safety is important despite of the budget that each holiday maker has made for travel expenses.Whatever the budget that is low or high, and it depends from the Hotel facilities,flights rental cars and so on,all the other expenses is a personal choice and a combination of what is offered in Rhodes.They can choose expensive offers or low  and great value for their money offers.That doesn’t mean that a low offer choice gives them bad quality service but sometimes these offers are better than the expensive ones.Have a look at the market and choose carefully a tour guide in Rhodes through local travel agents and compare the prices, if you care about the money spent every time you plan to make visits in Rhodes on different places around.
So have this on mind and after you prioritize Holiday plan,tourists should of course get the full advantages of the comforts wherever they stay and they deserve to act like that, cause is something they want before coming here and have paid for this.So what about places to visit in Rhodes and with what kind of actions you should take and become a part of these as long you are in Rhodes?           
Well take it easy,enjoy the pristine beaches,the blue ocean,the comforts of the hotel and there will be unfolded as walking closed to your area or a walk in the city of Rhodes a variety of tour activities you can choose.The tour packages which are offered are organized and have a schedule and a plan, so these can give you the best impressions about the island of Rhodes and aim to take action and spend another tour around the island by visiting new attractions or propose to get a boat trip and visit one of smaller islands closed to.By doing so, you will see how beautiful the island is and the amazing combination between the villages,the hills or mountains and the view of the sea.The natural beauties in Rhodes gives the impression of a miracle as if these are very closed and harmonized and the small communities like villages gives the best quality when its mixed with the culture,good food and a glass of traditional wine in each village.Rhodes has more than 28 villages and each has something different to offer you as a reward for your visit and why not stay there.My opinion is that if a village attracted with a click your eyes and got a positive emotion, you should plan and ask an arrangement from your hotel to stay one at least day in a village and come in touch with local people around and become a part of their entertainment.Dance with them,share and express your feelings about coming here and one is for sure,that they will grant you as a  gold visitor and they will never forget you.Get and share photos with them and ask about traditional or handmade products they have.You will be amazed of the massive respond and the willingness to serve you and on many occasions they will give you for free,cause you are the person who gives first by deciding to make a visit and stay one at least day,and they feel thankful for that.

I hope and believe when making a plan and visit Rhodes island what is most important is the communication with village people,the culture that is expressed with songs and habits they have when living there and the respect about the natural miracle around the island.These attributes gives a picture why Rhodes is one the best places in the world and the top 5 destinations for your memorable holidays.

And do not forget,that you all deserve the Holiday of your Dreams and Rhodes has the benefits to give you this Dream experience of having memorable vacations and make you come back again and again…….I wish to everybody great holidays wherever in the world you are and keep traveling………

Municipality of Ataviros tel. +30 22460 70310
The highest mountain on Rhodes, the imposing Mt. Ataviros with its distinctive character, overlooks the mountain villages of the region. At times hidden in cloud, at others bathed in sunshine. Ataviros, with its green slopes and rocky summit, is an eternal symbol of the island. The view from the top is unique, more than compensating for those who make the effort to reach there.
The biggest village in the region is Embonas. Built on a mountainside covered with vineyards, this village is famous for its excellent wines and tavernas, while keeping its traditional character between the Ataviros and Akramitis mountains is Siana, a lovely village where bee-keeping is highly developed. Very close by is Monolithos, with its impressive castle. Just as impressive is the fortress at Kritinia, near the village of the same name, and said to have bee founded by the Cretans. The rocky coast of the region has small hidden and especially beautiful bays, such as Fournoi, Glyfada and the beaches of Kritinia, where you can enjoy the sea, far away from the crowds. At the small harbour of Kamiros Skala you can sample the excellent food of the many seaside tavernas.
The medieval castle of Kritinia, known as Kastelos, with the ruined church of Saint Paul, the sunset from this side of the island is quite magical.
Siana, a traditional mountain village known for its pure honey and souma, a strong liquor distilled from grapes in the traditional manner.
The Rhodian deer, the symbol of Rhodes, lives in the wooded hills of the island. It is a protected species.
The castle of Monolithos, built on the summit of a huge rock standing steep and close to the sea, was built by the Knights in the 14th century to guard the sea route and to protect the locals from pirate raids. The sunset seen from here IS magnificent. From castle a road leads to a lovely secluded beach.
Every May the people of Agios Isidoros organize a climb to the summit of Ataviros, on which stand the ruins of a temple dedicated to Zeus. From the summit the whole island is visible below.
Embona, the large village at the foot of Ataviros. The growers here produce the finest wines on the island and are famous for their gaiety and adhe¬rence to traditional ways of life. There are many festivals where you can enjoy skilful dancing and traditional costumes.
Kamiros Skala, a small picturesque harbour with fish tavernas and an ancient tomb carved into the rock. From here the small boats leave for Chalki.
